AGENDA ITEM: #2 (information)
CATEGORY: CELEBRATING SUCCESS
BSN Graduation
BACKGROUND:
The inaugural graduation for the Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program was August 17, 2018. The BSN
program, one of two four-year degree programs at WVC, graduated 19 students. Twenty-three students have been
admitted to the second cohort for the 2018-2019 school year.
A poster presentation was held before the pinning ceremony which is the culmination of a year of partnership
between nursing students and public health leaders. Students were asked to work on pressing needs in the
community and healthcare as part of their practicum experience. The practicum gives students practice completing
quality improvement projects, facilitating health education and safety initiatives and addressing public health
concerns. Topics were shared ranging from opioid policy development to health education on antimicrobial
resistance to investigation into cancer clusters.

AGENDA ITEM: #3 (information)
CATEGORY: CELEBRATING SUCCESS
TRIO SSS Program
BACKGROUND:
TRIO Student Support Services had an incredible 2017-2018 academic year. This summer the program achieved a
major milestone and met their goal to serve 140 students. The team – Pamela Alvarado, Ivan Valdovinos, Jennifer
Cawdery, and former Omak retention specialist, Stella Columbia -- would not have been able to do this alone. They
are grateful for the support they received from the faculty members who invited them into the classroom; the
administration and campus partners, especially the College Assistance Migrant Program (CAMP); and from Student
Services colleagues district wide. Between both sites, the team conducted 800 student appointments and celebrated
with close to 60 graduates in June. Another resounding success for the program is that 90% of the students they have
served have persisted, graduated, or transferred. As part of the program, students visit transfer institutions where
many continue their education. In Omak, Julia Price, the new retention specialist, will provide services to students
while also maintaining a strong relationship with colleagues in Nespelem. Finally, this year WVC was the proud
hosting institution of the Washington state TRIO Civic Leadership Conference, a statewide leadership conference for
TRIO participants.

CATEGORY: STAFF REPORTS
Brett Riley, Vice President of Administrative Services
BACKGROUND:
Administrative Services
Administrative Services is preparing to release a request for proposals (RFP) for our food service contract
currently being managed by the Alley Café. Establishing a new contract now ensures that our food service
partner will be consistent throughout the design and construction of the new Wells Hall facility with the
hopes that the vendor will be able to provide input and feedback related to the design of the conference and
food service space that will be a part of the new facility. We anticipate the RFP to be available in early fall
with a new contract signed and vendor in place by winter quarter 2019.
Budget & Internal Auditing
The 2018-19 operating budget will be presented to the Board for approval at the September board meeting.
The internal audit “PIRC” schedule has been discussed and approved by Cabinet. The schedule will be
shared with the Board at the September board meeting. The Process Improvement Review Counseling
(PIRC) will integrate the familiar audit process one would expect with an efficiency analysis of business
processes for the unit be audited.
Fiscal Services
The 15/16 audit has been completed and posted to the State Auditors and SBCTC websites. We expect the
16/17 audit to begin late fall and last approximately six weeks. This timeline allows the college time to get
the 17/18 audit started and completed prior to the accreditation deadline in spring of 2019.
Facilities
Fifth Street Monument Sign- Burton Construction will be serving as the general contractor for the
monuments sign project. The project is currently behind schedule due to difficulty identifying a mason for
the project.
Smith Gym Remodel- Smith Gym remodel project is wrapping up.
Over the summer, WVC facilities staff were trained as certified roofing sealant applicators from the
manufacturer. This is important for our campus, as roofs begin to deteriorate on the Wenatchee and Omak
campuses, we will have trained staff to extend the life of our roofs up to 10 years and allow the College to
properly replace old TPO roofs properly and over time. Current small works funding is only meeting
approximately 40% of the system demand for roof repairs and maintenance.
Safety and Security
In partnership with Student Services, the College has secured and new reporting software to improve
reporting and compliance with respect to various federal, state, and local regulations (Clery, Title IX, etc.).
Additionally, under the leadership of our SSEM, Maria Agnew, WVC has transitioned to a new on campus
security contractor. As of July 20th, U.S. Security Associates will serve as our contracted security team on
the WVC-Wenatchee campus.

Quarterly, Financial Report: Brett Riley, Vice President of Administrative Services
BACKGROUND:
NOTES TO MARCH, 2018 FINANCIAL REPORTS
Balance Sheet
Assets
Deposits in Transit are receipts from June 30 that have not yet been deposited or posted
Investments are $125,000 lower and cash is higher because U.S. Bank account created to hold Board
Reserves is short term, thus cash, rather than long term investments. Same amount - different line item.
Inter/lntra Gov Rec fluctuates widely due to timing of tuition due dates, grant invoicing, Tuition Distribution
and Pooled Cash Transfers processes. (Made up of GL’s 1352,1353,1354,1355)
Inventories will continue to decline until all remaining Bookstore stock is cleared.
Buildings is significantly increased as a result of the completion of the Student Rec
Center's construction in progress; Large differences in Improvements Other Than Bldg. and Furnishings &
Equip reflect the continuing progress in accurately reporting WVC assets. See Inventory Report for further
details.
Library Resources had not been previously reported but WVC asset now include that line item.
Liabilities
Accrued Liabilities is almost all related to the 06B payroll
Inter/lntra Gov. Pay fluctuates similarly to Inter-intra Gov Rec above.
Other Long-Term Liab. is increased as an offset to the Gen Long-Term Obligation above.
Fund Balance
Change in Fund Balance is inverse to the increase to assets
Statement of Income
The large variances in funds 145 and 149 are a result of Running Start revenue in fund 145 T-transferred to
fund 149.
The increase in Capital Funds is largely a result of distributing revenue accumulated in the Bookstore
budget ($660,952) and the Pre-reutilized funds in BFET ($174,352) to local capital projects
The debit amount in capital funds is a result of transferring accumulated cash from BFET, and aged
equipment budget, and bookstore revenue to previous biennium deficits.

CATEGORY: STAFF REPORTS
Jim Richardson, President
BACKGROUND:
Programs Overview
WVC is monitoring several low-enrolled programs for fall quarter, including machining. Community relations
has been featuring several programs in WVC advertising and social media and receiving positive responses, but
so far enrollment continues to struggle.
WVC has its first bachelors graduates as the BSN program graduated 19 students in August.
Policy Overview
After discussion about reserves at the board retreat in August, the cabinet is working on a new reserves policy to
present to the trustees in October. The policy will ensure that the college is able to meet its liabilities for up to
three months if the state does not meet its obligations for any reason.
Facilities Overview
The design process for Wells Hall replacement continues on track for finishing in time to move to the
construction stage if the legislature approves those funds for the next biennium. Demolition and then
construction would begin in the summer of 2019. Plans are being made to relocate the classes now taught in
Wells Hall to either temporary portables or other facilities.
The remodel of the locker rooms is taking longer than expected, but should be finished soon. There is also ADA
work taking place across campus in Wenatchee.
The lactation pod has been installed in Sexton Hall.
Finance Overview
Dr. Chio Flores assembled a team during the past weeks to do a “phone-a-thon” to reach out to students enrolled
in spring who were not yet enrolled in fall. Most of the students were positive about the contact and more than 30
indicated they were going to enroll this fall. Omak also made calls earlier and saw an immediate bump in fall
enrollment. At this point, fall enrollment looks strong at more than 3% over last fall’s numbers.
The final allocation from the state has been added to our 2018-19 budget and the new budget will be presented to
the trustees this month.
Other
I continued to work with system presidents and chancellors at WACTC, but am now off the executive committee
for the first time in seven years. I am a member of the capital committee. The CTC system continues to be the
lowest funded sector of education in Washington State.
I attended the WACTC retreat in July where we made plans for the 2018-19 year and discussed probable budget
requests for the legislature for the 2019-21 biennial budget they will be working on this session.
I continue to meet with David Davin, the executive director of the WVC Foundation and the Foundation
Executive Committee. The full board resumes its meetings in September. David has submitted his resignation to
take a similar position in Illinois, so the foundation will be going through another transition at executive director
after only one year.
I also continue to meet with the WVC-Omak Foundation.
I continue to meet monthly with WVC Budget Analyst/Internal Controls Accountant, Joanne Tepley about her
work with WVC budget managers regarding the 2018-19 budget. She will also be working with departments on
efficiencies through her PIRC program, which she will be presenting to the board this month.
Met several times with Stacy Luckensmeyer about economic development issues and Our Valley, Our Future
progress. Discussed the progress of the training contract with Confluence Health and their need for on-going
training.
Cabinet has continued to meet with different departments on campus before cabinet meetings to talk about
people’s concerns, accomplishments, and hopes for WVC. We will continue the visitations regularly before
cabinet meetings, including going to Omak to meet there. We are compiling the comments and will report out to
the college community and the trustees later this fall when all visitations are finished for the first round.
Attended a SBCTC meeting in Leavenworth representing WACTC and discussing WACTC’s position on the
2019-20221 biennial budget request among other issues.
Met with WVC’s AAGs and Reagan Bellamy on personnel matters a couple of times.
Said goodbye to VPI Carli Schiffner after more than five years and many accomplishments, including the
transition to a bachelor degree granting institution. She will be missed at WVC but will be a great addition to the
SBCTC staff.
Hired Dr. Tod Treat as Interim VPI. Dr. Treat spent the last five years at Tacoma Community College and
worked at several institutions in Illinois before that.
Was interviewed on KPQ several times during the summer.
Met with the state auditors in their exit interview.
